CRAMPTON is an inner city school, classified as a county school, supported by Southwark Education Authority. It caters for boys and girls and accepts pupils from the term after their 3rd birthday up to secondary transfer at 11. There are 8 classes, one for each age group plus a nursery.

Currently there are 210 children of statutory school age, plus 26 full-time Â¬nursery children on roll. The school aims to accommodate 30 pupils in each year group. There are up to 25 children for each session in the nursery. Crampton enjoys an excellent reputation in the local community and is oversubscribed.

The original school building was bombed in 1942. The school operated in temporary accommodation until the present building was opened in 1965. In 1991 we acquired a pleasantly landscaped recreation area as part of the playground.

Accommodation within the school is compact and used to good effect. There is a large multi purpose hall, library, learner swimming pool and eight spacious classrooms and a portakabin.

The current teaching staff establishment is an Acting Headteacher, 10 full-time + 2 part-time teachers and a full-time nursery nurse. There is also a well-established team of support staff.
